Carrier Aggregation on Airtel 4G LTE

Wow! What are the speeds like?

 

[RummaanKhan]

I just got Max speeds of 80Mbps with Band 1 as Base and other combinations gives just 40Mbps even with this Signal strength.

I wish Airtel would start 3CA in Kolkata. Dunno what's holding them back.

 

[RummaanKhan]

Airtel's 3CA works only in Some places in Chennai and also it works in Bangalore.

 

[Crazyguy030601]

Guess it will take some time before 3CA becomes more prevalent.

 

[RummaanKhan]

Yes But Jio's 3CA works everywhere. I don't know what's holding Airtel in deploy Pan India CA and Mimo like Jio did.

Airtel is using 1x1 SISO for band 1 in Chennai wait for 3G shut down after that they will make it 2x2 MIMO and 10Mhz which will quadruple the speeds.

But as there is no Fiber Backhaul I think speeds won't increase that much even using 2x2 with 10Mhz.

It's 2x2 Mimo here coz Samsung Exynos models shows TBD Mode 2 and CA supports in all Bands except for one Combinations 1+40+40
